i need people to understand something being flavorful does not equate to it being spicy. you can spicy food that is otherwise very bland. you cannot use chili peppers to cover up a lack of balance or depth in a dish. a fuck ton of chili peppers will not disguise the fact you didn't use enough salt.

#ppl are still yelling at me about japanese food being bland 'compared to other east asian cuisines'#im sorry but no. wrong #the flavor profile is extremely similar to many korean and chinese dishes #you all just think everyone except japan is spicy food only #which is a really weird thing to believe #like seriously. eat chinese steamed fish. japchae.#for fucks sake even japan has spicy ramen get real #what i will say is indian food is way more flavorful lol but thats NOT EAST ASIAN #south asian food is another level. still trying to figure out the intricacies and nuances #it takes time. but #you guys cant even tell what is good spicy chinese food or not
